Thanks for the reasonable pricing
Thanks for the reasonable pricing and no forced add-ons. I start with a small VPS and scale up cores and disk as needed, without sudden budget spikes. Notifications about maintenance work arrive in advance, making planning much easier.

Good experience
Great for one-off calculations. I use GPU virtual machines billed by the hour: turn them on at night, shut them down in the morning and only pay for the actual time. Very convenient when you don't want an expensive GPU sitting idle.

Thanks to Hostkey the ready-to-use VPS
Thanks to Hostkey the ready-to-use VPS was up and running in just a couple of minutes. When I needed more power, I configured a dedicated Ryzen through the configurator and got access with IPMI the same day. Basic DDoS protection is enabled by default, 10 G port is optional, making it easy to scale without changing locations. Payments are in rubles, with VAT documents provided — everything is clear and straightforward.

Great discounts
The option to pay by the hour really helps the budget: I spun up a server for a day and shut it down. Now I use it regularly for longer periods. For extended rentals, they offer great discounts—up to 50% on VPS.

Perfekt all
I migrated the project to Hostkey six months ago: network speed has improved, the control panel is intuitive, and upgrades are performed without any downtime.

Good price
The Epyc server handling our database runs 24/7 under load, and the price is noticeably lower than with previous providers. Sure, it's not their cheapest option, but compared to others, it's still more cost-effective. Plus, there was no waiting— the server was delivered immediately after payment, so no queues to deal with.

Good server
We've been working with Hostkey for two years, running a chain of microservices for our fintech app. We started with a single Ryzen dedicated server, and now we have two 24-core EPYC servers plus a dedicated A100 GPU for our ML model. Migrations were seamless, with zero downtime: support coordinated via Telegram, ran tests in advance, and handled the IP network transfers.

So good
We rented two preconfigured RTX 4090 instances on an hourly basis to handle peak workloads, along with one permanent RTX A6000 for day-to-day tasks. It was great to see that the drivers and NVIDIA Docker were already set up, so the team could jump straight into running the pipeline. In the first month alone, we saved a solid amount of budget — definitely a win.

hostile policy
I am a Spanish coder working in France on a short project contract basis. I went to register at Hostkey and I was rejected because "my IP has to match your phone number". So, if I want to register, I have to take the train back to Spain or purchase AND keep a contract French number at 20 euros extra a month. Then if I register with the French number and move to Germany, the system will detect that I am at a different address and will ask me to confirm with my phone number because neither my French nor my Spanish number will be accepted, because, of course, you are fraudster. In the EU there are millions of people working or studying in a different country than their own and because there are zero roaming costs., it makes ZERO sense to get a new telephone number for every country you are in. If you are a businessman and travel across Europe, according to hostkey you must have as many phone numbers as countries you happen to be in.
If you have checked in in a hotel and want to advance your web work and want to get on registering a server, you will be bounced as a fraudster because you are not in the same country where your phone number is.
I was insulted in my intelligence at their saying "we need to see that your phone number matches your IP or else you are a fraudster. This is the most obnoxious, insulting, hostile policy I have ever come across.
On top of that, in France and in many countries, Estonia, Latvia you can get a prepaid anonymous telephone card and you would be able tor register even being a fraudster, but if you have a registered phone number with your company where they have your ID and credit card account, you will not be able to register at Hostkey if you don't happen to be at the moment in the same country where your phone is from.
The individual at the chat said "we need to see that your phone matches your IP or else you are a fraudster". I was not taking that insult and I left, calling them the names I honestly feel they deserve.

The worst Customer Support
The worst Customer Support that I have ever seen till now. No solution, not answering for a long time, I just had a login issue I had to wait for 1 hour and got no solution. They have no respect for customers.
